She can react however she likes, just as I can react to her reaction however I like.

Wow, it's just like arguing with Plato.

Dylan, that's a rubbish summary.

Speaking of Plato, I reckon Burgess and our coaching group could do with a bit of the old "A good decision is based on knowledge and not on numbers."

C'mon man, I thought we agreed any reference to actual football in this thread was unacceptable.

This is an escape from the shit sandwich we live on the rest of the forum.

Can anyone give me a reasonable answer as to why the Census is asking for business financial information?
Isn't this covered with the thousands I spend with my accountant every year?

Some classic Chiwigi passive aggression there.
Who's arguing? I'm just not particularly sympathetic when a well to do sportsperson living large off the taxpayer falls short in ONE of her numerous events.

I'm pretty much like this in any field of sporting endeavour. Can't remember the last time I wanted an Australian to win anything simply because he or she is Australian.

Sometimes, like yesterday when that Australian girl came 5th in her swimming final and had a bit of a cry in front of the poolside interviewer, I have a hard time feeling any sympathy. I mean yeah, you poured your heart and soul into this event and missed out on a medal, but geez, I'd give anything to have just gone to an Olympic Games and soak up all that shit up at some point in my life. Not to mention she'd already won a gold the night before and still had 2 or 3 events to go. I mean, **** me!!!

I would rather she showed she was pissed than not GAF.

Numbers are a part of knowledge.

Thats a stastistical fact

Yeah, well I just don't care that much. Her winning a gold medal or not isn't going to affect my day at all. I understand she's upset she didn't do as well as she'd hoped, but she already had a gold medal to her name and has more events to come. She can react however she wants to the setback but not everyone watching is going to care one way or another. Fact is, she didn't do a games ending injury, and her Olympics are still alive. Things could be worse.

Maybe the commentator could have asked her "how do you think a Sirian refugee feals right now"

So her perspective better suits your fealings.

 

[charcolechaddy]

And i dont know how to spell Sirian

What a strange thing to say. I couldn't care less what she's asked. That's the whole point.

And it's Syria.

Then why GAF how she responded????

 

[finbarr]

Is there some new law that you have to get excited and hold up a "Go Aussie" sign as soon as the Olympics start or something?

 

[charcolechaddy]

Thanks for the engliz

for example. she could be some guy who sits at home and makes memes that barely attract double figure likes on facebook, a service with one billion users. this is the worst living situation i could think anyone has ever been in in the history of civilisation.

she is lucky tbh.

No just dont bag some athlete that is not happy that she diddnt perform as well as she thought she could have on a day that she has trained for years for that one moment for.

As someone whose taxes contributed to her being given the chance to even be there I can say whatever I please.

Im not questioning whether you can im just stating you are being a negative Nancy.

I could understand this put to the fatty at the last Olimpics but not this one.

The swimmers just rub me a bit the wrong way. Especially that James Magnussun campaigner, the one who threw a tantrum because the national trials for the London games were held in Adelaide instead of Sydney, and then he pranced his way to London like his shit don't stink only to lose and whinge some more. It's probably a bit unfair of me to mark them all against him but oh well.

 

[charcolechaddy]

Lazy , ungrateful sports people grate me too.
